indicate a high blood pressure status. It is suggested to refer to a physician.
CORRECT MEASURING METHOD
Many factors determine variations in arterial pressure: physical
exercise, eating, agitation, changes in temperature and emotional
stress.
Daily fluctuations of 25 / 50 mmHg are common.
In order to get an accurate blood pressure reading, follow the instructions
below:
1) Sitonachair,relaxandtrytokeepstillforatleast5/10minutesbefore
takingareading.
2) Removeclothingandjewelleryfromthearmorwristbeforeapplyingthe
armlet.
3) Avoideating,smokinganddrinking(especiallyalcohol)beforetakingthe
measurement. All these factors will affect the result of the measurement.
4) Rest the arm on the table so that the armlet is on a level with the heart. The
armmustbestretchedoutnaturallyandmustbekeptstill.
5) Place both feet on the ground.
6) Remember that the blood pressure changes during the day.
Try to effect more measurements during the day for better
understanding the reactions of your body to the different
moments of your day (after a physical activity, during the job,
after the meals…).
7) Do not take only one measurement. At least two measurements
should be taken, wait at least 10/15 minutes between the two
measurements.
More measurements, taken over a long period of time will give
you a better indication of your blood pressure.
8) Should an unpleasant feeling occur during the measurement, stop
immediately the device with the “O/I” button.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
